We’re trained to see the world in terms of charismatic organizations and charismatic people. That’s who we look to for leadership and change, for transformation. We’re awaiting the next J.F.K., the next Martin Luther King, the next Gandhi, the next Nelson Mandela. (Paul Hawken Quotes)

And I would contend that if you don’t know where you are, you are in fact nowhere at all. (Paul Hawken Quotes)

Is it rational to have an pricing system which discounts the future and sells off the past? How did we create an economic system that confused capital liquidation with income? (Paul Hawken Quotes)
Healing the wounds of the earth and its people does not require saintliness or a political party, only gumption and persistence. It is not a liberal or conservative activity; it is a sacred act (Paul Hawken Quotes)
Don’t be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done (Paul Hawken Quotes)
Inspiration is not garnered from the litanies of what may befall us; it resides in humanity’s willingness to restore, redress, reform, rebuild, recover, reimagine, and reconsider (Paul Hawken Quotes)
